[QUOTE="Thor230, post: 8870549, member: 669168"] The difference is the dielectric as well as the metal plates and the surface of the middle plates as well as how thin everything is A super capacitor is the same as a regular electrolitic capacitor exept the sheet separating the two plates is so thin to allow them to be able to roll up so much aluminum material in there that they can only handle about 3 volts because anything above I think 4.8 and the voltage will short circuit through the protective sheets to the other plate and you'll short circuit and have a ruined capacitor this is why a 200 volt 1000 UF capacitor is 10 times bigger than a 16 volt 1000 uf capacitor because the dielectric separator is much thicker on the 200 volt one to keep short circuiting from happening Likewise the super capacitor uses a special liquid that helps conduct electrons much better what that liquid is it varies from company to company but it's an important factor as well as the surface area of the two sheets depicts how much power can be stored and super capacitors main differences they will use graphene or activated charcoal for both on the surface of the aluminum plates because those microscopic little pockets and pits help hold more electrons enabling the capacitor to hold an exponentially larger amount of charge than a standard electrolytic. An ultra capacitor is a bit of a pseudo sales marketing gimmick in my opinion it's supposed to be a hybrid between a battery and a capacitor but by the very definition one cannot be the other because the capacitor holds electrical charge which is why it can give it away at instant if there's no conversion needed whereas a battery holds a chemical potential which is why it takes time to release its power so you can have one or the other you don't have both so it's a bit of a sales gimmick but in a nutshell an ultra capacitor is basically a super capacitor.
